Sam was amazing to work with from start to finish! He made the process so smooth and it is clear that he truly cares about finding you the best possible job. I couldn't speak more highly of Sam and can't thank him enough for the time and effort he put in.

When I approached Chisholm Clarke regarding my career expectations and goals, Sam and Sarah were able to explore a few different avenues, which demonstrated a clear understanding of both the legal market and the specific requirements of senior-level roles. Their approach was thorough and strategic, ensuring that each opportunity presented aligned with my professional objectives, expertise, and values. It was refreshing not having to chase up recruiters during the process - instead communication was timely, transparent, and constructive. I ultimately ended up in a role which wasn't advertised and had it not been for Sam's timely advice and connections, perhaps would not have come across the opportunity. I would confidently recommend Sam and Chisholm Clarke to any legal professional seeking discreet, informed, and results-driven career support.

Thank you Steph, I'm pleased to hear you enjoyed your experience with us, and likewise we certainly enjoyed working with you. All the best in your new role and stay in touch. Sam

Sam stepped in seamlessly while Sarah was on leave, and I couldn’t have asked for better support. He was proactive, approachable, and always available to answer my questions. Sam was particularly helpful in negotiating the finer details of my offer, including start dates and references, and he provided clear, practical guidance at each stage of the process. I felt genuinely supported throughout, and I’d recommend Sam without hesitation to anyone looking for a recruiter who goes above and beyond!

Thank you very much Claudia. It was great getting to know you (and at such a late stage of the process) and congratulations on landing your awesome new role. No doubt Sarah and I will keep in touch and all the best for now. Sam

We were approached by Chisholm Clarke on behalf of a candidate they had. Sam was good to deal with, kept us in the loop and on track.

Thanks Elena, it was nice to meet and work with you on this one, all the best for the onboarding.
